SERVIA JOINS POWER IN TEAM AUSTRALIA COLOURS FOR NIKON INDY
300

There will be a two-pronged attack from Team Australia on the
Nikon Indy 300 with the green and gold livery of the Aussie
Vineyards-backed team running on two cars at next weekend's
race around the streets of Surfers Paradise in Australia.

The cars of KV Racing Technology were unveiled in the pit
lane of the Nikon Indy 300 circuit today, with Will Power on
hand to unveil the two thoroughbred IndyCar racing machines
of the Indianapolis-based team.

Power, driver of the #8 Aussie Vineyards -- Team Australia
car, will be joined by team-mate Oriol Servia in the colours
of Team Australia for the big event, held October 23-26.

Servia's #5 car has run in a silver, orange and blue livery
this season, before switching to a red and white livery for
the Chicago event last month. But for the Gold Coast race,
the Spaniard will join Power in flying the colours of the
home team.

"I think its great Oriol and I will both be flying the flag
for Aussie Vineyards and Team Australia at the Nikon Indy 300
next week," said Power.

"I know that Oriol loves this event, so it's good that he
will be able to join me in running the green and gold next
weekend. I'm sure the massive Aussie crowd will cheer him
on."

At last year's Australian event, Servia was fastest in
Friday qualifying before Power secured his second-consecutive
Gold Coast pole position on Saturday, giving the pair the
front row of the grid for Sunday's race.

"Hopefully we can both do just as well this year," said
Power.

"It will be extremely tough to match that performance
because this year's field is arguably the toughest in the
18-year history of this event, but our aim is to win so we
will see how we go."

The IndyCars hit the track for opening practice on Friday
morning, with qualifying on Saturday and the Nikon Indy 300
held on Sunday.
